Parker Washington

Parker Washington finished last season with a flurry of insane production; if he picks up right where he left off, he'll be one of the best picks in fantasy football this season. Last year, in Weeks 16-19, Washington asserted himself as the Jags' clear WR1. During that stretch, he averaged 22.3 PPR points per game while soaking up six red zone targets and 13 deep targets (per Fantasy Points Data). In those four games, he had a 28.9% target share, 113.5 receiving yards per game, 3.78 yards per route run, and a 33.3% first-read share. Those are all absolutely elite metrics no matter how you slice it. There's some uncertainty about how the Jags target hierarchy sifts out this season with Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter healthy. Each player could effectively put a dent in Washington, putting up monster numbers in 2026, but that risk is baked into Washington's price in drafts. He's a wonderful upside swing in the later rounds.

Fantasy Impact

Washington has been battling an undisclosed injury of some kind for a little while now, but he was back and participating at practice on Tuesday. That's a good sign that he is close to full health, especially considering that it was a joint practice with the Buccaneers. He seems to be fully on track to play in Week 1 and remains an intriguing late-round dart throw if healthy.
